reich, good to have you with us tonight. do these ceos care more about their employees or their bottom line? >> ed, there's no question. they care not only about their bottom lines, but they treat their employees as costs to be cut rather than assets to be developed. and that is the new corporate code, in many corporations. and you see the revolt of these plutocrats. i mean, they are now saying because they are so worried that the possibility is that their taxes might be raised, even though they've never had as much money before, even though the 400 richest americans have more wealth than the bottom 150 million americans put together, even though we are now seeing more inequality than we've had in this country in over 100 years, since the era of the robber barons, these people have the nerve to tell their employees that if obama is re-elected and if their taxes are raised, they will slim down, they will fire employees, they will have to simply close up shop. that is ridiculous. they have no historical sense. obviously, taxes

also, robert reich, former labor secretary in the clinton administration, economist and professor of public policy at the university of california at berkeley. secretary rice, let me start with you on the terror front and the obama administration. do you buy david axelrod saying that president obama labeled it terror the next day? >> well, it didn't sound from that context as if he labeled it as terrorism the next day, anderson. but it does seem credible to me that the white house is sharing with the public what it knows when it knows. it's very difficult to get good information immediately and as this issue becomes clearer, i think the white house has made a credible effort to tell the americans what it, in fact, knows about it. >> ari fleischer, what about that? david axelrod is also saying look, an investigation, you have to be prudent, you're president of the united states, you can't jump to conclusions. >> i have a fair amount of sympathy. i stood on that podium at the white house in the case of attacks on our country. you have to wait until you have all the facts to speak. but

and robert reich maybe that is their plan. but they've also said they're going to close loopholes which is different than capping deductions. in some sense, it's the the same outcome. is it that they don't have a plan for how they're going to make up the revenue side of this? >> i think the reality is not only do they not have a plan, but they don't know how they would ever get to their goal of creating five or almost $5 trillion of tax cuts for the very wealthy and not increasing anybody else's taxes. they keep referring to these six independent studies that show it can be done, but if you look closely, there are no studies showing it can be done. there are a couple of studies out there, but they have assumptions built in such as rapid economic growth or magic asterisks. mathematics is mathematics and you can't duck the logic of adding and subtracting and that's what they're trying to do. >> i'm glad you brought up studies. professors have been kept in business because of that. we heard a lot about studies from both sides. he

robert reich served as secretary as labor, mark mckinnon advised the clinton campaign. chris christie is a well-known romney surrogate. i remember when he was running for governor of new jersey and a lot of people thought there's no way he can win. i'm not going to tell you what i'm going to cut. i'm going the get the list, get in office and do it. he won and "the new york times" wrote voters embraced mr. christie, though he offered no detail on how he would fix the state's problems. can this strategy work for mitt romney when it comes to his tax plan? >> well, first of all, as the cofounder of no labels, i like the idea of bringing the congress together and to negotiate bringing these solutions together with the president involved. now, that said, there are realities. i think bold solutions are required. now, i'm not an economist and having me talk about tax policy is like having paris hilton explain -- >> that's rather aggressive analogy, by the way. keep going. >> well, they laid out a plan a couple of weeks ago and i'm surprised that paul ryan didn't talk about it t

the rise and fall of the third reich, this guy is paralleling everything that hitler did. >> tony, thanks for the call. the president has never talked about his father, he talked about his grandfather who served in world war two. i am not sure he is really going to vote for barack obama, but any reaction? >> it goes to show the continued polarization in this country that we thought might go away upon his election. this country was heavily divided during the george w. bush years, the partisanship still exists today. it is an example of the vote that will be an interesting barometer for both sides. less than 12 months ago, we had a ballot referendum that was highly controversial where they basically limited the union's right to collectively bargain. the state went to vote on that and voted to repeal it. if state swings quickly and i think ultimately, it will be a ground game. independents are disenfranchised. will they show up at the polls? >> it is absolutely true that we have seen intensify and polarization, and not just among people in washington, but across the country in recent years.
